BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Marley Shelton was born in Los Angeles, Calif., on this date in 1974. This birthday gal is known for her roles in such films as "Scream 4," "A Perfect Getaway" and "Pleasantville." She starred in the short-lived 2008 series "Eleventh Hour" and has appeared on episodes of "Mad Men" and "Harry's Law." She's also lent her voice talents to an episode of "American Dad." Marley is the older sister of singer/actress Samantha Shelton.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't go chasing rainbows. Someone close may shine as the leader, but you can't compete on the same level. Your part for the next few days might be a supporting role, although that may be hard to accept.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your struggles to satisfy a special someone might hit a snag. This is not an optimum weekend to begin a new romantic relationship since your expectations could be at odds with those of another.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take promises with a grain of salt. Someone may promise to help but not show up when needed. To reach your most important goals, you may need to exercise skills you've never been used in the past.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Too much of a good thing can prove costly. It's possible you're trying to impress the wrong person for the wrong reasons. Apply your energies to productive tasks or on a hobby that has captured your enthusiasm.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pass up the chance for blind date or new romantic fling. Serious drawbacks could be disguised. A green-eyed monster is just waiting for an opportunity to nip at your heels, so don't give loved ones an excuse to be suspicious.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play it cool in heated situations. Your understanding of an issue is growing by leaps and bounds, but this isn't the right time to act. Leave your wallet on the counter, as spending or investing may prove unsatisfactory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid extremes to achieve your dreams. You can err on the side of caution if you're wise enough to understand that there are things you don't know, or make serious blunders by going forward on faith alone, without enough information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people are willing to ignore your ignoble qualities. You may be intent on getting your own way or motivated by selfish desires. A certain someone might find this provocative and consider you a challenge to reform.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stick to your promises, even if others don't. You may be thrown into contact with people who act on impulse or do things on the spur of the moment. Wait for better timing to make major purchases.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Unexpected news may leave you in a dither until you have the time to process all the information. Look at all the angles before you make a major decision. You may easily overlook a vital fact or problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Slow down, you move too fast. You may be raring to go forward with major changes, but others in your life prefer to remain calm, cool and collected. You may run into resistance if you attempt to take control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don't need to outdo the competition; you just have to stand your ground for the moment. You may be tempted to make a purchase that requires your credit card just to prove you can outdo someone else.

IF APRIL 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Illusions may carry you away during the upcoming 4-6 weeks. Since you're not grounded, you might fall prey to flights of fancy and could be persuaded to part with your heart or your money. You might not float down from your cloud of romantic elation in June, so a vacation is fine, but hold off on crucial financial decisions until August. In September, once again your gullibility quotient is at a high point, so avoid beginning anything of importance or giving anyone reason for censure. After September, if you've paid your dues and made the necessary effort, you'll be ready for a period of rewards and lucky breaks. You'll also be wiser and can make sensible decisions. Helpful opportunities could brighten your life and you may be offered the chance to make beneficial changes from November through January.
